“I don’t trust my instincts around the man behind the wheel. He’s too good-looking. Too confident. Too everything I’ve always tried to avoid in a man”

“He’s perfection. Everything about him is, from his looks to his singing and the way he carries himself.”

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙔𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙏𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 JC Reed 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗺, 𝗮 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹-𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗻, 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗲𝘀-𝘁𝗼-𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲!

The guy I just met at the mansion I inherited from a complete stranger?

He’s drop-dead gorgeous. Sexy. And rude with a Capital R.
Turns out he’s not the hot gardener as I wrongly assumed.
He’s not only a famous rockstar who grew up in the house, he’s also ready to fight for it. And being both hot-headed and Irish, he’s going to fight hard and dirty.
I’m not moving out. Full Stop.
But neither is he.

So we agree on some simple rules.
We’ll play roommates for a while.
What could possibly go wrong?

Living together with an Irish Hothead will surely cause a major storm. Let’s hope bracing that storm won’t turn into a hurricane.

Author’s note – This is a romance book with a storyline that doesn’t fit into one single book. It is book one in a duet, so beware of the cliff. If you can’t handle cliffhangers, stop at the end of chapter 25 and let it be your temporary HEA.

Owner/Reviewer at A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog
I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
